Im sorry but thats dumb

Hello my beautiful peoples ! With this song Im trying a more centered vocal style I want to get away from the way Ive been doin vocals with the spreader effect so this is my first good attempt .Im also keepin my mixes under the red and Eq'd for overall clarity . Id like to thank my two favorite little girls in the world RiRi And Sloany for there contribution to our song . Give me a little feed back about overall sound quality and vocal clarity ...thanx for the Love ! -Toast

Very cool track Benny
The mix is clean and the "Girls" sound sooo gooood.

One thing I noticed that would make it even more listenable than it is, (which it is very listenable).

You've got some kind of sound you're using like spoons or something for the rhythm that are ok sounding for the mix, but too loud for my tastes. Seems to be distracting away from the lyrics some to my ears.

Of course this is the deaf guy with the hearing aid in his ear that's talking so you might want to listen to it again yourself with fresh ears to see if I'm onto something here. I'd also get some other feedback on this before changing anything, my ears sometimes lie.

Otherwise, I really like what you and the "Girls" have done. Very cool track Benny.

Slo-P
Hey thanx man ! Love the feedback , I think your right about the Percussion Sometimes after listening for 3 hours you forget to listen to the whole :) And yes you Are Def son ! ....little hiphop lingo :)Thanx sooo much for the careful listen dude !

Nice, nice, nice
Love that piano - tinkling, and slightly discordant, with hints of something like a dark nursery rhyme. Speaking of rhymes - awesome as ever; dude, you never disappoint. I think the words are great, and the girls do a great job on here. Very cool, man. I think Ed has a point about the percussion, and that could be a little lower in the mix. But the centered vocal works very well. Nicely done. You the man. Peace.

Stupid percussion
yep Think Ill be cuttin that down for sure ! Thanx for the great feedback Jamma! I appreciate your support and love dude ! Thanx !I love those two girls like they were my own ..there my roommates nieces and there sweeter than candy coated sugar lumps ! Word!

Mr. Bass
Commin from a hiphop head thats an honor man! Im just experimenting with different compressions and vocal track stacking and then Eq'ing the whole song at the end seems to make the biggest difference . You can still hear the hollow sound in my vocal created by bein in an open air environment in my room but im gettin better at fakin it ;)wish I could set up a booth but I live in a tiny appt with a roomate and its not an option . Thanx for the Love Bass Sir !

I may not say anything intelligent because
I admit I rarely venture into hip hop but I wanted to show you some appreciation for the wonderful support you've been giving to my songs. And this is excellent - very enjoyable and beautifully put together. Love the kooky piano and addictive beat. I will listen to more of your stuff Benny. Thanks for being you.

Timeless music is timeless music
Im not making for your ears only hiphop , its more just fun music for the ages . I hope ;) I love your music Rebs and its really an Honor to be able to download it for free :) So glad Ive brought you over to the dark side hiphop is full of fun and intelligent musi yu just have to find it ! Thank you for the love and support means alot to me ..really .

Great track Benny - love the lyrics and vox
I agree with slop - the percussion is a little too bright maybe - or loud - it cuts pretty strong. Nice hearing your voice straight up. Seems the only bottom on this is the 808 kick drum sound - perhaps a little more bass in the mid range would fill the spectrum a bit more. But it could just be how I'm listening.

Slop.... thats some funny stuff
I agree Bud Doggie I need to go in and drop that frequency out alitte ...I was hopin I didnt sound to direct but I think it came out nice ...you guys giving me all this love and support has deff helped with my confidence as an Emcee and it really drives me to get better and make the DJ French Toast Music worth listening to .....Indeed the only low end is the 808 drum drop ...if you wanna add a Bass line on this Id be happy to send you the files man....Your the Bass guy(god) ;) Thanx for the Feedback Bud !

80808080808080808080808080808080
Its Deff original if its nothin else thats for damn sure ....your always down to show a brutha some love and Appreciate that alot man !Thanx for ALL the love and support youve show to this project Will ...One love through Music man !

WEEEEEEEEERD !
Sup man ! So glad your back in the house my brutha ! Glad someone was feelin the drums I was considering droppin em out completely :) Yeah I think Im finally finding a voice for Toast ! :) Thanx for the feedback and the love ...Word Werd!

Clarity is perfect
I started smilin' the moment I saw the photo with those cute little faces, especially the tiny tot ( no not you... the one at the front LOL). Really made me smile all the way through.... and when the girls came in that was great. I think I told you when I first came here, that you're the first rapper I ever could tell what they were saying and it still sounds as clear ....and cool, cheers M

Nice track!
Sounds great Benny- I really dig this one! It's cool that you let the kids take the mic- I'll bet that makes their day :) I had to keep the volume low while listening (wife is sleeping) but everything sounds clear and balanced. Had to D/L this one!

true dat
I like the centered vocals its good to change it up
it keeps the listeners on there feet,
stay up dj french toast ill have some more beats for yah, I jump from dub step to hip hop to drum n bass. beep beep
Stevie J (Osric1)

Damn !
Good to know your still breathin ! Hey thanx for takin the time to give it a listen ...I know your connection is slower than a slug with no slime :) Thanx for the feedback and love dude . be safe !

My favorite
is hearing you say: "Say it like you mean it...." to the munchkin....LOL

Like the new mixing technique. Centered vox are working for me. I can hear the results of the sonic headroom from less compression and maximizing. Quality is the new volume. You can quote me on that one.

Im glad you appritiated that
That was one of my favorite parts too man and it makes me giggle every time I hear her say ,,thats boring ! :) Indeed I think it was Bud who was talking about Coltrain and how his recordings are all low volume but the space is created in being able to turn the volume up on a pre amp and the music was let to breath like a fine wine .....yeah I agree #%@% LOUD ! :) Nice comment man thanx !

fertilize the earth
hey dude cool lyrics, cool sound and cool kids. I dig it and usually i'm hearing somebody else in your tunes, somebody GOOD, like murs or atmosphere but this time all I hear is you bro - its all you and its all good. love the little piano ditty that strings this along. Always happy to hear a frenchtoast tune on the ipod shuffle, brightens the workday dude so i'm happy to have another.

honestly i really was diggin this vibe. The whole production was dope, from the simple immature beat to the young voice samples, everything fit hand in hand with the song. very cool and well thought out..loved the thought behind this.

Great Track Frenchy
I am going to be devils advocate and say I liked the percussion, it sounds like indian tablas and they were well composed. The whole is well composed actually, and well done for including RiRi and Sloany, it really added to the track in a great way. Cool rapping and lyrics as usual complete with your humour, excellent. Well enjoyed Benny, nice one.

SOoooooooooo
Some people like it and some not ...ive listened now 100 more times to the song and it seems well balanced to me not like my vocal is over powered or anything ? Ill just leave it as is then maybe bring it down a tad :) The mixing is never finished :) D its always great to hear from ya man ! Thanx for the kynd comments .....

Sooooo
What im doin is trying to get a nice even sound so I can then try alittle mastering .....I want the boot to be clear when its compressed and what not .....Id also like to get some of my music put onto Vinyl so Im thinking bout getting it radio readdy and then pressed .......What I need is a analogue beat machine to get a good bass sound :) MPC1000 or something ....thanx Rocha for the kind comment

Plinky plonk...
... loving that piano riff. Your vocal stylings here are really great man. I'm not normally in tune with this style of music, it rarely works for me but this, this is really floating my boat. I'm loving the kids voices and spare arrangement. This is going on the iPod and will shake up my listening!
Cool stuff.

Hiphop for those who hate hiphop
Im really honored when people who shun the genre actually give it a chance and listen to my music ...Im tryin to keep it fun and worth listening to ....Im really honored by Ipod downloads as well ....thanx man ...gunna have a listen to your music alittle latter on :)

I don't know what it is
but something about this piece is just so good, the piano line sounds so awkward at the beginning, then the childish running eighth notes over it takes it to a new level. and then to top it off, you have a great beat running over it. I like your style, but I don't always feel like you're spitting at 100% on some of your tracks, but I do love all your ideas. I know that you're hittin hip hop at a totally different angle than most. I personally feel like a contrived sometimes :p great song

Not 100% vocals
Hahaha thats an odd view . What it is in reality is that im getting better :) Im not an Emcee im a producer so ANYthing with my vocal is for pure fun and I Never plan on rockin any CD's with my vocal on them ..What I like to do is record and make beats and Mix ....Dj French Toast was a Joke that started with a Drunken night with a Friend . He would be Emcee Changlas and Id be Dj French TOast :) I just had the drive to keep goin :) HE never was serious but obviously I was ! :) Anyway People seemed to dig it here and I kept getting people saying they liked it when I thought just the opposite that people would be like whatever white boy :) SO I just keep Dj French Toast alive for pure Entertainment ..kinda If you dig it sweet if not go back to the mainstream ....but now that I kinda gotta few fans here Im trying my best to step up my vocal game a little .....just for shits and giggles :) ! Im glad you dig the style it takes a few listens to the songs to grasp alot of the word play and humor as well ! Thanx Dude Ill be keepin my eye on you ..your good too buddy !

That's(not) boring!
The girls are great, the song is definitely downloadable, a thing I will share. I think the point Ed made about the "spoons or something" is valid but probably could be fixed with a different EQ on that track. I think the reason it is distracting is the some of its frequencies are shared with the trebel part of your voice so it affects the perception of your diction. Just a guess, but I think that's why, when there is no vocal, it sounds great. Remember, I'm just an amateur and a huge fan, and I really don't know what I'm talking about, just a guess. And I love these sonic discussions. You keep me smiling; I love your point of view. Thanks for this addition to my iPod.

You know Joe
Your Probably right ....I know nothing either :) Im gunna try a remix on this and see if I cant tone the high end down abit and see if that helps this one sonically ....Just when you start messin with the sonics seems they mess right back ;) Im overwhelmed by the feed back Ive got from this song ..its quite flattering and helpfull and enlightening and encouraging and joyful and Im just so greatful for the love Ive been shown on here .....Keeping you smiling is the only reason I make this music Joe otherwise it wouldnt be worth it to me ....Ill never make a cent from music Im sure of it...so for people to enjoy it is all anyone could ask ..right ? Thanx dude !

haha great
the vocals sound very crisp and clear to me. love the chorus with the girls used as samples. great. I agree that the "spoon" drums could be brought down in the mix. maybe some bass to give some depth to the mix? it seems to all be in the mid-high-end to me.

Love it
Oops I missed this one when it came out. I really like it, its soulful, witty, playful, well recorded and well delivered. very entertaining.
The toy piano thing is awesome, reminded me a bit of the Jungle Brothers.
Kids did a good job.
I'll look out for more of yours!
